I enjoyed your post and your attitude. I appreciate being connected to this group as members share their individual experiences. There are so few of us that sharing collective experiences helps me ( and hopefully others in the group) to better understand our condition. My celiac aneurysm was detected about 4 years ago and I just recently began developing some periodic digestive issues for the first time in my life. My Dr. believes that all this is unrelated but I empirically feel differently based on what I am learning from all of you. I am interested in seeking a second opinion from a vascular surgeon who has actually dealt with the issue...and I am prepared to travel to find such a DR. From what I have picked up thus far there is one DR. in Illinois and another at Baylor in Texas. Would love to know others.
